After a dismal performance of Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) in Bihar Assembly election 2020, the party continues to split in the state which is proving to be a big challenge for the party chief Chirag Paswan. More than 200 LJP active members including 150 Panchayat presidents in West Champaran district have decided to merge with the BJP on Tuesday. A Milan Samaroh in this regard was organised in district headquarters Bettiah where they joined the saffron party. The leaders took the primary membership of the party in presence of BJP state president and Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Jaiswal. Earlier over 200 members of the LJP had joined the JD (U) in Bihar.
